  1. Seems like the site is very slow for the past couple of days. Takes a lengthy time for threads to open, pages to change, etc. Anyone else have this problem? I know ... "slow" is a relative term, but it's taking three to five times as long as it did a week ago.
  2. The Macedonian is kinda cool !!! I voted for the hideous yellowish one.
  3. Little blue Whitman folders (both) for the Lincoln cents. I tried to fill them from circulation when I was a kid.
  4. 1926-s Oregon Trail Comemmorative half dollar ... PCGS MS-66 I still can't figure out where the heck that thing went.
  5. No stars ... now where's the petty cash box ...
  6. Nah ... I think we should go for it I wasn't thinking "long term" yet, but that makes sense. I assume it's a no-no to submit a previous winner
  7. All Dansco albums ... US Type Set - lacking 3 coins to complete (including gold page); US Large Cents - only have maybe 20 or so in there; US Half Cents - Approx. 67% complete; Canada Type Set (2 volumes) - maybe 20% complete; Australia Type Set - only have 5 coins in it.
  8. Art, do you really think you can get that many coins right now? I mean, we only have a little over 100 people back at last check (108) and, if I recall, there was a bit of a shortage of entries last time. If that made any sense, then how 'bout the same categories for now ... Gold, Silver, Copper and Other. Might get enough coins with less categories.
  9. So ... if we're already posting there, we will have to "sign up" when this takes effect?
  10. awfully good results, though !!! I've seen proof pics from folks with $3,000 worth of camera and lighting equipment that don't look that good !!!
  11. Wow, folks ... awesome coins I have to stick to silver, though ... the gold ones are just a wee bit too expensive for me, as well as palladium. Tiffibunny, those proofs look awesome ... What does your lighting setup look like? I've managed a couple of "dark mirror" shots, but not as nice as yours. (If you don't mind sharing trade secrets )
  12. Gorgeous ship, Daggit ... I love those
  13. WOW!!! Those are some gorgeous Russians Guess I need to start searching for some of those
  14. Here's a couple of mine ... okay, the first one isn't actually a ship 1988 Samoa 10 Tala, 0.999 Silver, Proof. Comemmorates the voyage of the Kon-Tiki, a balsa log raft sailed from South America to Tahiti in 1947 by Thor Heyerdahl. 1986 People's Republic of China, 5 Yuan. Obv: Great Wall. Rev: The Ship Empress of China.
  15. That's where my good stuff is going after I get them all imaged
  16. Looks like a major project I wouldn't even do that with wheaties ... I had 110,000 of 'em in bags of 5,000 each and I took 'em all to the local coin shop and sold 'em to the dealer. I think (if I can ever find the darned things in my garage) I may have another eight bags or so ... but there's no way I'm looking through those puppies
  17. Last one I purchased ( a few weeks ago) was "Papal Coins" by Allen Berman. Excellent book, well plated.
  18. Wow ... neat Half Cent collection, too Those things are fun, and hard to get decent ones. I'm surprised they're not more expensive, but the demand is limited as the Large Cents are more popular.
  19. That's a real nice start ... Looks like you've been putting those new books to good use, huh?
